At work we recieve about 1 million emails every day, out of those about 900000 is spam according to stats on our mail server.
I wonder who in the world even reads spam and even worse buys anything from it... How stupid does one have to be? |

CANSPAM is a joke. Wait, I'll go as far as state, our government legislative system is a joke. What good is an act if nothing is done about it?
Wait, I see. They created this act for those that send spam. Nice. Would you like a Rolex with that \/iagr4 at 72% OFF !!

Re: I rarely get spam on Gmail
said by supergirl :On ISP or Yahoo, I get a ton. Right, but I think the point of the article was not whether they make it to your Inbox, but that only 5%-10% of the email traversing the Internet is legitimate email.
Our spam filter daily report show we outright reject 51% of the total connection attempts each day, then only delivers about 50% of the email that isn't outright rejected due to the email not passing other levels of the spam filter.

Re: spam spams spam
I always get a good laugh every time I hear a politician say Americans are not stupid, are smart, get it, not gullible, etc.
Clearly most Americans are extraordinarily stupid, gullible, and do not get it.
Verizon blocks a ton of SPAM for me and the very few that do get though are caught by my email client rules. So to all you out there paying SPAMMERS, you are not getting too me.
Same goes for the domains I operate. You are not getting to us.

I'm glad I have gmail. My spam box hovers at about 3000 spam messages for the past 30days worth of mail. I rarely get spam into my inbox |

00000 | 10% of that is from Barracuda boxes.
Nothing annoys me more than to get bounce back messages from Barracuda boxes. They read the spam and bounce messages back to the forged reply to address. |

Re: I rarely get spam on Gmail
I agree... just because few spam messages make it to your inbox (vs. junk/spam box) doesn't mean that spam messages aren't out there. I suspect that since spam filters / junk mailboxes are oout there, spammers send more messages, in an attempt to have a few get through.

My current Sendmail setup issues REJECTs to 98.5% of all spam that is sent its way... I've had only two "false positives" in the four years I've been set up the way I am now.
Next step, if to have a little "fun", and write a milter that TARPITS a spamming machine whilst it's still connected.
Since most "Hormel-esque" email today is sent from "zombies", an automated or semi-auto "spam in progress" notifier (to the uplevel ISP) could make it an "Instant death upon spamming me" deal, if I could tie up the sending box long enough...

| Broken Spam Filter
Usually, I don't see too much spam here at work because our Spam filters are very good. One Monday morning not too long ago, though, I signed in and checked my e-mail. I was surprised to see about 700 messages. Turns out that the spam filter had broken over the weekend and wound up letting everything through. It was fixed quickly, but it served as a good reminder to everyone in the organization just how necessary a good spam filter is for businesses. |

There has to be a way to combat this. In all reality the internet is in its infancy. This problem I bet will be relegated to the past eventually, but for now the email system is a complete disaster because of a handful of assholes. |

| More like 98% of e-mail traffic is spam here
Our small company has used Roaring Penguin's Canit Software since December 2005.
In the last 7 days, out of ~94,000 messages received
* ~1500 were valid e-mail
* ~ 800 were viruses pishes and spam
The balance (the vast majority) were rejections due to invalid recepients from dictionary attacks.
In our case, 98.5% of the traffic our mail server sees can be considered to be spam. My users rarely see a piece of spam that passes thru my filters.
Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in Canit, I am merely a *very* satisfied user.
